With Disneyland and Disney World closed indefinitely during the coronavirus outbreak, you may be looking for a way to get that Disney ride fix right now from the safety of your home. Luckily you can.

While it may not be as thrilling as the real thing, the YouTube channel Virtual Disney World has been amassing a collection of Disney park roller coaster rides over the years, giving everyone the ability to experience Disney attractions as if they were strapped in themselves.

All of the videos on the channel are shot with 360-degree cameras, which means you can click and drag while watching the video to look around at all the scenery going by on the rides. If you have some virtual realty goggles, you can also strap those on and look around while watching the ride for an extra immersive experience.

Virtual Disney World has dozens of videos including classics like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and It's a Small World as well as newer rides like the Toy Story-themed Slinky Dog Dash and the Star Wars Rise of the Resistance experience.

If you had a trip to Disney planned during this time, this probably isn't going to completely satisfy you, but it's at least something that can hopefully be a cool distraction. Plus, there's no lines when you're visiting Disney virtually.
